5. With a mechanical lift, or the help of additional
personnel, lift and hook the cassette awning onto
the mounting brackets. See FIG. 6.
IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD. Do not over-
tighten fasteners. This will cause them to
“strip out” and weaken their ability to hold
a load, which could cause the awning to
collapse. Failure to obey this warning could
result in death or serious injury.
2. Using a mounting bracket as a template, mark the
bracket’s position and hole locations. See FIG. 3.
4. Install mounting brackets with provided carriage
bolts, locknuts, and washers. Tighten to 35 ±5 in-
lb torque. See FIG. 3.
Note: If solid structure is not present, use backing plate
and sleeves. See FIG. 4.
Alternate fasteners may be used only if size and strength
requirements are met for the safe installation and opera-
tion of this awning. Bolt head must be no taller than 1/8".
LIFTING HAZARD. Use proper lifting tech-
nique and control when lifting awning. Failure
to obey this caution could result in muscle
strain, back injury, or property damage.
3. Pre-drill 1/2" clearance holes for sleeves, or 1/4"
clearance holes for M6 carriage bolts on the
marked locations. See FIG. 3.
Mounting brackets must be installed on a at
surface, be in-line with each other, and level
to ensure proper function and appearance.

Important: For installations without sufcient struc-
tural support, a backing plate and sleeves (available
from Dometic, LLC) will be needed inside RV wall. This
will help strengthen awning support. See FIG. 4.
Note: 0.405" O.D. sleeves and M6 carriage bolts will need
to be cut to appropriate length to t RV wall. Repair threads
(at cut) on carriage bolts. See FIG. 5.
Before drilling, make sure there are no ob-
stacles inside RV wall (cables, wires, gas
pipes, etc.).
To help prevent water leakage, always use
sealant where fasteners enter RV’s side wall
or roof.
